Winter's Ending, Spring's Beginning!

Breakup is SO early this year . . . and we keep hiking!  Easter Weekend we went with Lance along Turnagain Arm, thinking it's south face would mean no snow and no mud!  And it was in pretty good shape, from McHugh toward Rabbit Lake.  We only had 4 hours so didn't make it to the end.  We saw 3 moose along the way, and it snowed part way through - it was a very windy day!

We took a ride up to Wasilla for the Home Show because a tiny home that Brian worked on was on display.  Another one that he did a lot of work on was in Alaska Magazine this month with a big display about tiny homes.

And then went to Ptarmigan Peak on the way home - not enough time to climb to the top, but a really nice hike, nonetheless.  We needed Katoolahs here -- lots of stretches of snow and ice. This is the second time that we've gone partway with not enough time, so next time . . . going for the summit!!

Lots to do in the month of April, but the days are getting warmer and lighter all of the time.  Brian's getting the camper fixed up now so we'll be ready for our first trip of the year, and shrimping season starts in just a few days!
